The Propeller

A propeller is a type of fan which transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust. A pressure difference is produced between the forward and rear surfaces of the airfoil-shaped blade, and air or water is accelerated behind the blade.

Early aircraft propellers were carved by hand from solid or laminated wood with later propellers being constructed from metal. The most modern propeller designs use high-technology composite materials.

These planes are very well maintained and also high in maintenance.

I always wanna try to fly a plane, must be very fun doing maneuver in the air. Have you tried it? :)

I haven’t been at the controls, but when I was a youngster my dad took flying lessons and I flew with him several times. The most fun was in an open cockpit bi-plane. Imagine the thrill of feeling that much wind in your hair.

@v1olet: You’re sure be well maintained at VS airlines :lol:
@Ratty: How about learning it together? :)
@alexa, Tanya Walton, Icy BC, Marq: thank you!
@sharkbytes: I think this plane just being washed, that’s why it looks so clean
@Jouir: Then I’m sure not to forget you on the next VS flight, if I have any :)
